.@UVA gave private office to white supremacist (who was shortly after banned from Grounds) to shield him from community's dissent; they arrested a person peacefully protesting this fact, issued him a lifetime ban, & are pressing charges. #HoosARacist

" Martin adds that Parr told him he was trespassing and asked him to leave. The alleged trespasser who...teaches Christian nonviolence, replied w/: “That's fine. I’m not going to. The students don’t feel safe & I’m going to stay here until Kessler leaves.” "
This is DISGRACEFUL, @UVALaw. You have shown time and time and time again, this is who you are: cover and protection for white supremacists, actively endangering students and the community. #HoosARacist
Please let @UVA (@terrysulli @UVALaw) know: #DropTheCharges against Eric Martin & revoke his ban w/ apology.

Eric Martin faces up to a yr in jail for reading in the same room as white supremacist Jason Kessler at @UVALawLibrary.

@UVA, @UVALaw: this is a major embarrassment & yet wholly unsurprising for you! UVA again chooses to protect nazis > students & community members

It’s funny, when you see the pattern of politically motivated bombings today, we are supposed to sort of pretend that one political party hasn’t monopolized violence and terrorism in the US for the last two decades. (THREAD)
We get the immediate “both sides”ism coming not only from the right, but the “reasonable centrists”, including from folks I genuinely respect, like @artkellermanmd

But this is not a case of “both sides”. Sure, we are polarized and more divided than in living memory. And that’s not great, and the polarization is mutual. But ONLY ONE SIDE IS ROUTINELY KILLING PEOPLE.

One thing that's missing or at least severely downplayed in a lot of discussions around appropriate online behavior and holding people accountable for things they've said in the past is an acknowledgment and analysis of power.
If, say, a trans woman of color, who has experienced marginalization, danger, and fear living in a world of power structures that prioritize whiteness and maleness, lashes out at "white men" online, that is 100% NOT THE SAME as white men being racist and transphobic.
One is an expression, however small, of anger or anguish or defiance against the oppressive status quo. The other is an attempt to reassert and reinforce that oppressive status quo, to continue the dehumanization of people whose humanity is already denied and disregarded.

If you repudiate Trump's horrifying racist rhetoric, but endorse Louise Mensch, you are a hypocrite. Louise propagates the same racist talking points like in this FoxNews interview: Syrian refugees in EU are a "complete disaster, blood, chaos, carnage.”
indy100.com/article/louise…
For years Louise Mensch has perpetuated odious attacks like this one against immigrants/ Muslims/POC and has helped normalize this rhetoric. Louise Mensch is a politician and political operative who has helped pave the way for racists like Trump.
During her Brexit campaign, Louise Mensch RT the same (now banned) Hate Groups as Trump has because Neo Nazis spread the Bexit campaign fear mongering. If you endorseLouise as a hero & a leader & ignore her vile racist ideology, you are no different than a Trump apologist.

#Fact 1 - The Wage Gap is real. People who says it's not haven't read the data.

However, in places like the USA, the wage gap is *not* mostly due to sexism like many #femnist #WomenInScience are claiming it is today. Disparate outcomes doesn't imply disparate treatment.
Women typically choose fields that are lower paying; even in the #STEM fields. To attribute that to sexism only or even mostly is a very dishonest way of deriving an answer for this complex disparity.

Sources:

When the US Department of Labor Statistics took into consideration personal choices, non-wage benefits, hours worked, experience, education, and other variables that contributes to the wage gap the percentage of earnings decreases to approximately 3%.

Dear Gullible Pundits: You may be tempted to use the word 'presidential' tonight after Trump's State of the Union, as he badly reads prepared remarks from a teleprompter. I beg you, before you do, read this to understand why describing Trump that way makes you look like a moron:
Was it 'presidential' when Trump bragged about his comparatively large 'button' while threatening nuclear war on Twitter?
Was it 'presidential' when Trump called those who marched alongside white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and the Klan 'very fine people' at the same time that he called on black athletes peacefully protesting police brutality 'sons of bitches'?

1.)

Eric, I'm going to be straight with you. You are not known as the smart Trump, so I am going to have to do multiple Tweets (a thread) to TRY to educate you. It turned out to be 15 tweets.

Yes, we know that all he cares about is "green".
2.)

He proved that with the #TaxScamBill. Got a lot for you guys with that one. #InheritanceTax

You got the "Green Thing" right, so let us talk about the #Racist thing. I know you believe what you say, but your problem is you do not know what #Racism or #Racist means.
3.)

Tell me what you think after you learn what it means, ok.

rac·ist

ˈrāsəst/

noun

a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
